I traveled with my two small children and a very friendly employee helped me with my two suitcases. She also had painting materials for the children, who were very happy. The train journey was very pleasant - I would choose this service again! :-)

My ticket was from Stanstead Airport to Stratford. Upon booking, it appeared that Stratfford and Liverpool St were indifferent destinations so I chose Stratford. In actual fact, the Stratford train requires a change at Tottenham hale whereas the Liverpool St. is direct. This means that at Tottenham Hale you have to wait for the next train to Stratford. It would have been easier to get off at Liverpool St and catch a train then to Stratford I think this needs to be MADE CLEAR when you book..right at the start. (The info about the change at Tottenham Hale was written in small print on the ticket). It should not appear like Liverpool St and Stratford are indifferent destinations

The combination of the Stanstead Express, the BigBus and the boat tour is just perfect! All the presentation was perfect and humorous. Great fun! Would be better if the train ticket also extended to the bus though - £1 more - otherwise you have to change to the tube at extra cost, which was unexpected.

I was extremely lucky and boarded the train about one minute before departure. The busses heading to Liverpool Street Station got severely delayed, and I had to switch to a taxi.
